Awwwwww guys. I love you guys. This was so sweet of you. Im so touched. I am home now and things went well. I'm in some pain but, its really not that bad, I mean I was up at 3 a.m. doing laps inside the hospital. I had my route all laid out and was able to get 10 laps in before they sent me home.

Surgery took like 5hrs I'm pretty swollen and stuff but, she says I now have a washboard stomach which is nice(I haven't actually removed my binder yet to see for myself). She said it will take several days for the swelling to go down but, after that I should have a better idea of what I will look like.

She completely cut out my old belly button and made me a new one. She says it looks cute. haha I guess i'll have to take her word for it. I'm up and moving around pretty good(much better than GBS) and I think it just cause im in much better shape now than ever before.

Thankyou guys from the bottem of my heart this was very sweet and touching. I will be home for the next couple months all day everyday so expect to see my online alot more haha. Posting in every thread.

Oh you guys would have gotten a kick outta all my nurses. I had alot of the same ones and everyone couldn't believe it was me. That it had only been a year. I swear I got hit on haha okay maybe not that far but, they sure were flirty with me. Word spread about me I guess and people can by to talk to "the guy who lost 250lbs' it was sweet.

My RT had lap and was down 170lbs herself(last year when I was in the hospital she was giving me hints on protein and teling me about everything). I think she was the most shocked. She didn't know who I was but, once she figured it out her yaw never left the floor.

muahah. good times. I love you guys thankyou so much. Im in some pain but, i'll get through it. I up and moving around alot better than I thought I would be. 4 drains btw.

Better yep, but it'll just get better after that... in a couple of months you should have a REAL good idea what you're going to have in the end, but even then the fluid will still be working out and you'll see more and more definition all the time. You've got several months of "wow" moments coming. Congratulations!

So happy to know you are home and all went well. You sound great, amazing boy you are. Can't wait to see pics of the washboards! Post away, love hearing from you. 4 drains??? Eeek, and I thought one was bad. By the way, you deserved every moment of shock and awe from the hospital staff. You have done an absolutely amazing job of changing your life, your health and your body.
